So far everything works, but I have question about editing map. Lets say I make topic about traveling and into first post I would add map, into which I would like to add every day the route that I went through. I figured out that I can edit post and create other map and copy the points from it into the first one (if I don't use GPS tracker), but it would be more user friendly if there is "edit map" button on map to allow users to add the points into map.

I didn't try maps on http://share.mapbbcode.org, so I don't know if (in case I use GPS tracker) I can (edit) map and add into it more GPS tracks.

Yes, there is an edit button, of course. if you press "Map" button when cursor is inside [map]...[/map], the editor opens with that map, and you can add and remove points.

Right now you can only import one trace per map, but I think I'll adjust that, so many files can be imported on the same map.

I would never figure this out myself. But it works. I was able to add another points and line of points to the map. I wasn't able to join to point lines together, but it is not big deal. I also figured out that I can delete last point of line by clicking on point, but I wasn't able to delete whole line - there always stayed three last points. And I would like to ask why, when I click on point somewhere on point line (except the first and the last point) it will add two points around it?

There are two types of line markers: white and semi-transparent grey. White rectangles are actual line nodes: you can move them, and line will change. Semi-transparent rectangles are "virtual nodes": if you drag one, it becomes a real node. This way you can add nodes inside a line. That's why two extra points appear: virtual node becomes the real one, so two new virtual nodes are drawn, so you can add more of them.

And try clicking on a line itself, away from its points. There will be a popup panel from which you can change line color and delete the line altogether.

I plan to write a translatable user's guide, since the need for it is obvious. Probably later this month.

It is a problem of phpBB3 modifications. There is no management of them (except AutoMOD, which is MOD too, bot not many modifications are fully compatible with it), so I don't remember all of modifications installed. Now I remember it.

In this particular case it is a "conflict" of 2 modifications. One of them "upgrades" standard QR to include smiles and BBCodes, the second modifies BBCodes list without knowing anything about the first one. So, some tests required for displaying Map button in QR should be done in viewtopic.php but they wasn't.

I fixed it for my instance. But "modified" QR is quite popular. Probably this question should be somewhere in FAQ or, even better, there should be installation instructions to get compatible with this modification right in MOD's contrib. I don't even know what is "board3" but instructions for it are in the MOD's distribution.

Semik, thanks for installing and testing the modification. A problem with zip archives was clearly not mapbbcode's fault. And I am fixing the DOM issue now, will publish it in couple of days (after I release version 1.0.1 of the MapBBCode library).

As for quick reply panel, I have considered adding the button there, but there is a problem with that. Scripts. If I add the button to every page of every thread, then mapbbcode scripts (around 250k uncompressed) would be included to every page, and not just to those that have maps in them. I don't think it is worth having a map button in quick reply.

I have just updated the plugin to version 1.0.0 and marked it RC. There is an upgrade MOD inside, which updates underlying MapBBCode library to v1.1.1 and fixes some paths for scripts. Do not forget to purge the cache after installing (there is a button for than on the "General" tab).

GitHub repository now contains instructions on adding proprietary layers (Google, Yandex etc.), which is done just by adding two lines into 2-3 files. Note than you cannot have a proprietary layer as a default one: you have to add at least one OpenStreetMap-based layer (there are a lot of options, I recommend OpenMapSurfer).

And MapBBCode Share website supports importing several traces into one map. A plugin for displaying track lengths is still in development.

The modification was updated to 1.0.1. There are three notable changes:

1. MapBBCode library was updated to 1.1.2 (changelog).
2. It is now quite easy to enable proprietary layers and add-ons: there are only 2 files to edit (sadly, I could not lower it to a single file, like in other forum engines).
3. There are add-ons now! Just one: length measurement. It was often requested feature, which makes the plugin's features on par with other map sharing services. You can test in at the library's website.

Looks like nice update. I didn't try it yet (only the previous version), but I would like to ask if would be possible to make your MOD compatible with phpBB Gallery and if user who is posting map would be able to choose zoom level of map?
